    I loved it. I think Orlando has a near-perfect handle on Diana. She's thoughtful, she's compassionate, she kicks ass, she has a wry & humorous edge (the "he hits like Apollo...and he didn't like my response" line - I'm paraphrasing from memory, so it's probably not quoted quite accurately), and she's smart. I'm looking forward to Wilson, but based on what he's done so far, I'd love for Orlando to return any time.

    Artemis makes no sense in this with the character growth she got in Red Hood and the Outlaws. About the only thing that did carry over was her getting the Bow of Ra after defeating Akila for the second time.

    But hey, at least Wonder Woman looked good, right? Right?

    Loved Diana's voice in this.
    And I also enjoyed her tanking solar plasma and her reaction after it.

    I thought it was a step down compared to the earlier three issues. The art was not as good or interesting, and I got a vibe of Finnish television from the visual storytelling (likely only an analogue that makes sense to Norwegians and Swedes).

    I'd also say both Artemis and Atalanta picks up the idiot ball here. Artemis is brash, violent, and uncouth, but she does have a moral code that views hitting people in the back as despicable. And Atalanta thinks a populist revolt can give her legitimacy when hardly anyone knows she's in prison and the realm faces an immediate crisis.

    It was excellent, if Orlando had half as many issues he'd probably take the "My Favorite Wonder Woman Writer" label away from Greg Rucka.

    Would you guys have wanted Orlando being the one to have taken over for Rucka? That he got to until Wilson?

    I thought this segment of the story Orlando is telling was off to a great start. Diana's interactions with the Bana's was reminiscent of her first Pre-Flashpoint encounter with them (one of my favourite storylines from back in the day).

    Try as I might, however, I just did not care for the artwork.

    Yes, absolutely. This was a GREAT read!

    I mean, damn! It's like Orlando looked at everything that Finch and Robinson ever wrote, and then just did the exact opposite.

    Boom! Wonder Woman!

    Yes - and I LOVE the follow up from Rustam. "My rift hit Wonder Woman with the surface of the SUN... so we've got MINUTES at best."

    YES! Rustam and Orlando both get it. This is WONDER WOMAN. A blast of 5500 degrees C [about 10K F] is not going to do more than slow her down!

    Wow. Only this many comments to such a great issue?

    Recent writers must really have put a major dent in folks enthusiasm.

    Nope, I think it was So Good there's not a whole lot to discuss. It speaks for itself. There's not enough complaints or controversy to make it a long thread.

    I suppose we could discuss the Bana. This is an interesting development for them

    I'm trying to remember back to the Perez era. I think back then they were in Egypt.

    What's interesting to me is that in this new continuity they seem to have left with Hippolyta's blessing.

    Is Atalanta taking the place of Antiope? Maybe in order not to cause confusion with folks who have seen the movie?
